Got a couple of images processed for you tonight. The bass is amazing!

Wow. Thanks, Mica. It is more than I'd hoped it would be.

Love the simplicity the concealed hardware bridge and the rounded bar tailpiece give it. Ebony and maple combination is awesome. Can't wait to play it.

The black tuners go well with the Ebony.

Very nice bass.

Are the headstock veneers walnut?

I believe so; walnut is the usual, I think.

I was aiming for a not-too-flashy good sounding short scale bass. I'm blown away by the beauty of the instrument. The look exudes "quality" to my eye.

I'm thrilled. Can't wait to play it!
